2 big 4’s within 2.5 years, and my girlfriend’s thinking about making her third jump. In her defense, she now knows what she wants after being in 2 different practices. Idk how I feel about this... 😦

Good she is not attached - makes it easier to seize opportunities that come along.
As long as the moves are opportunities in line with her goals, and she’s not simply leaving to randomly try other shit, should be good.

When I interview folks and got a resume in my inbox, I’d normally go through skills and accomplishments. But frequent jump will definitely pops up in the back of my mind when I see a resume like that.

Some questions you’d need to prepare to answer are:
1. What have you accomplished in your previous firm with a short stay? Given that you are in your 3rd year, and you just stayed about a year, I’d hesitate to take you as a senior as you may not have done much.
2. Why have you move around often? Are you being pushed out or jumped? Remember that I don’t know you and haven’t talked to you, so I’d always prepare for the worst.
3. If you jump around practice as well, what are your breadmaker skills (if you have any)

I wouldn’t just reject your gf before talking to her but she’d need to show why she’s better than her counterpart more than someone who stayed in one firm for a longer period. If I have a choice between the two person, then I’d pick the one who stayed longer (given that both have the same skills)

Also EY helps to boomerang. You might just let her jump around and you can be her firm anchor :)
